Ye and his Donda Academy are seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a former employee. The employee claims breach of contract and violations of the state Labor Code.
In their court papers filed with Judge Christopher K. Lui of Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, the attorneys for the 46-year-old rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, present several defenses. They argue that the plaintiff, Isaiah Meadows, is barred from filing his causes of action, either wholly or partially, due to the statute of limitations.
Furthermore, Ye’s lawyers assert that Meadows “implicitly endorsed the alleged misconduct he now complains about through his actions, conduct, or omissions.”
In their court papers, Ye’s attorneys request that Meadows be denied any relief through the complaint and that it be dismissed with prejudice, preventing Meadows from filing it again.
In his lawsuit, filed on July 6, Meadows claims that he was hired as an assistant principal in August 2020. He alleges that he repeatedly raised concerns about safety issues at the Yeezy Christian Academy, the predecessor of the Donda Academy.
Meadows states that a skylight was not replaced, resulting in rain entering the building, soaking the floor, and causing a mold odor. He further contends that the building had exposed telephone and electrical wiring, and an electrical fire near the student dining area was left uncovered.
Additionally, Meadows claims that he had to spend $60,000 of his own money to lease a home near the school in Calabasas because Ye failed to fulfill his promise of financing the entire rent payment.
The school transitioned to Donda Academy in August 2021. Meadows worked as a teacher’s assistant and physical education teacher, and he also taught faith in the morning. However, he was terminated a year later, just two weeks before the fall semester began, without any explanation, according to the lawsuit.
Ronald Zambrano, Meadows’ lead attorney, also represents three other former teachers who are suing Ye and the school, as well as three former Lizzo dancers who have accused the singer of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
